You compared both
:patrice:

1 is an action comic flick, heavy influenced from The Long Halloween comic

1 is a psychological satirical film, could even say with black comedy elements.

Even to compare the Jokers doesn't really work as 1 is fully fledged as the Joker, 1 has barely begun.
i think its fair to compare them because they are both dark, cerebral movies based on Batman. but if we comparing Joker to the movies its similar to...

Taxi Driver still the GOAT

true, but that's where this origin story of the Joker is a double edged sword.

on one end, Joaquin was able to "humanize" the character being Arthur Fleck with the victim mentality... me against the world, woe is me, blah blah blah.

with Heath, there was no back story which is why i think the Joker is the GOAT villain. he shouldn't have one.

the scars on his face, 2 different stories of how he got them.

first, his father abused him. second, empathizing with his wife. no truth; pure insanity, which is what makes a villain a villain.

there was more madness behind Heath's portrayal vs. Joaquin's.


Not true.

This is an origin but had an unreliable narrator.

So it's still pretty much a multiple choice origin story lol

It seems to be the very beginning, he doesn't even have any henchmen or guns other than that little 38.

I assume he really becomes The Joker we saw portayed in TDK after he gets out the asylum hes currently in.
That's the shyt I want to see in the sequel

Watch the movie as if you are watching any ole film and not try to view it through the lens as if you are watching a movie based on superhero comics. It shows how the city deals with people with mental illness and the wealth gap between the lower income and the upper class.

This is what I just told my friend. If I think of it as a comic book movie or a joker origin movie I don’t really like it, but damn when you start to think about Joaquin Phoenix acting :wow:

The more I stop thinking of it as a dc comics character movie the more I like it :ohhh:
